Splits an mzML file with IonMobility frames into multiple mzML files by binning(merging) spectra by their IM values.

This tool supports two modes:

Regular ion mobility: Splits data into a user-defined number of bins
FAIMS: Automatically splits data by the FAIMS compensation voltages (CVs) present in the file

For regular ion mobility data:

Useful to convert IM data to a format that can be processed by tools that do not support IM data (e.g. FeatureFinderCentroided or SearchEngines)
The results of individual bins can be processed separately and then recombined afterwards
To decide on the number of bins, try running FileInfo on the input file to get an idea of the range of IM values present

For FAIMS data:

Automatically detects FAIMS compensation voltages in the input file
Creates one output file per unique CV value
MS2 spectra without explicit FAIMS CV are assigned to the preceding MS1 FAIMS CV
No binning parameters required as the splitting is based on the discrete CV values

The command line parameters of this tool are:
